NHK「親の顔が見たい」ジョージ・カールと共演
この番組もある意味でちっと恥ずかしかったよな〜。
２００４年頃の写真。
親父のジョージ・カールがオラの子供の頃の話、全部ばらしちゃったよ。
でも、大好きな親父だから、許せる。
オラもちょうど撮影の時期、久しぶりにひげをはやしてみた。
親父も引退してから、ひげをはやし、
なんだか、うりふたつの親子になちゃった。
This is one of my favorite shots. NHK brought my Dad all the way over to Japan to be on a program called “Oya no Kao ga Mitai” (“I want to see the face of this person’s parents”). He told them all sorts of stories about me when I was a kid. Mostly cute stories, some just a tad embarrassing for me, of course.
The best part of this photo for me is that both of us are sporting beards. My Dad grew his after retirement, and I had grown this as a “test beard” to see how it would play on TV. My first since college. Unfortunately it didn’t last long. Guess I’ll have wait till I retire.
